Kitchen Skills

The small mechanical skills that make cooking fast: knife work, pan management, and knowing what to do first.

What matters most

  • Read the whole recipe, then start whatever takes longest.
  • A sharp knife and a big board save more time than any gadget.
  • Clean as you go and the after-dinner wall disappears.

Do this week

Time yourself prepping one onion, one carrot, one head of broccoli. It gets faster fast.
